Chapter 137 - Frustrated Regan (1/2)

Ch-136

”Why are you smiling creepily from earlier?” Regan asked. He couldn't take it anymore. He was getting frustrated because of Aria's acts but Aiden was just smiling like a fool.

”She will come up with new ideas if we hold Alaric down. Remember… Valene is the best friend of Cedric and Martin,” Aiden said.

”Neither Eleanor would say something to him nor Cedric would,” he said confidently.

”I have faith in them that they would say nothing out loud. But I don't have faith in your Stephen and Eric,” Aiden said.

”Sir! I am loyal to you!” Eric said immediately trying to cover his broken heart when he heard Aiden doesn't have faith in him.

”Sir, I would never reveal things to others about Emerson's family. I am a loyal person,” Stephen said. How could he say that he wasn't faithful?

Sobs…

Both Stephen and Eric exchanged a look before bursting out into the invisible tears. An invisible lake was formed because of their tears.

”Really?” Aiden asked.

”Yes,” both Stephen and Eric said at a time.

”Then explain how Alaric got to know something that isn't even planned,” Aiden asked, poking their fresh wound.

Eric and Stephen turned into a stone hearing his words.

”Tell me why everyone is congratulating us?” Aiden asked further, breaking their stoned stupor. Cracks formed on their body, and they silently agreed that they did this.

”Tell me how Aria knew about our lunch yesterday and joined us?” Aiden said. They turned into dust on the spot.

”Now… tell me, do we still need to put faith in you still?” Aiden asked.

Even though it was bitter… then both lowered their heads gloomily before answering a no.

”No, sir,” they both said.

Regan felt it's understandable not to put faith in both of their butler's. He also realized that… they both shouldn't be trusted.

”What to do?” he asked.

”Let's wait,” Aiden said.

Suddenly both Aiden and Regan's phones beep continuously. Furrowing their brows, they both opened their phones to check.

Aiden's eyes widened in shock when he saw the article. Regan was equally surprised at the sight of the article.

”Shit!”  Regan cursed out.

”Eric, get people to take this article down. And find who released the article,” Aiden asked.

”Sir, the pen name of the writer seems familiar,” Eric said, checking the news on his phone.

”Who is the writer? Do you know?” Regan asked, feeling flustered.

”A melody…. Wait! Sir! I remember! This belongs to….” Eric's eyes widened in shock when he realized who was the writer!.

”Belongs to?” Regan asked. He could feel his veins were going to burst out with curiosity.

”This isn't any news agency. This is written by a freelance writer from our circle!” Eric said.

”Who is she?” Aiden asked. He was on the edge right now. A freelancer… from their circle. And writes the articles. Oh, god! No one wants money from their circle. It only means… they were after gossip or their downfall.

Could this be done by their enemies? Who were they after? Did they miss someone? Were they one behind his son's accident? Dammit! Who the hell was the writer?

”Who is he or she?” Aiden asked again, correcting his question.

”You know her sir,” he said.

”Who!?” Aiden couldn't hold it anymore.

”Who the hell is the writer!?” Both Aiden and Regan yelled at him. Eric flinched at their reaction. He was too scared that he wanted to run away.

”It's Mrs….”

”Say it dammit!” they both yelled making him flinch further.
